So here’s what I did: In FreeNAS, I set up a new Jail using the new UI (the old UI will set up Warden jails, the new UI will set up IOCage jails. You cannot see IOCage made jails in the old UI and you cannot see Warden jails in the new UI.). What's on our radar. Data Show Podcast. How machine learning impacts information security.

As they don't set it up as a build environment or test it, there will be more issues along the way. Best to heed their advice and do the compilation on a matching FreeBSD release. FreeBSD have VM images to run for releases too. Then copy the compiled drivers across to pfSense.
